Fine Art Map Reproductions – Museum-Quality Printing
Unlike most online offerings, our maps are produced entirely in-house, not outsourced to print-on-demand or drop-shipping services. This allows complete control over quality while offering better value. Each map begins with a high-resolution original, carefully enhanced and printed to order using archival papers and pigment inks for exceptional clarity, depth, and longevity. Every piece is personally overseen — no map leaves our workshop unless it is of a quality we would be proud to display ourselves.
Authentic Old Map Paper & Accurate Colour Reproduction
Paper choice is essential to the authenticity of our maps. We use specially sourced 190gsm paper made in the UK from pure materials and traditionally pressed with natural woollen felts. This process creates a subtle, randomly textured surface that closely resembles an original antique document. Likewise the use of premium quality ink fully saturates the paper, producing remarkable clarity, depth, and historical character. Colour fastness and sharpness will remain good for in excess of 100 years!

Historical Background
Daniel Derveaux created this map in 1963, deliberately borrowing the appearance of much older cartography. Its elaborate cartouche, sailing ship and traditional provincial names give France the character of a land of abundance. The title’s reference to the “Pays de Cocagne” evokes an imaginary country where good food and drink are plentiful.
Map Details
- Original title: Fromages et vignobles… d’iceluy païs de Cocagne
- Artist and publisher: Daniel Derveaux
- Publication: Paramé, France, 1963
- Area shown: France, including Corsica
- Notable features: Wine-region panels, cheese symbols, historic provinces and illustrated dining scene
The legend distinguishes vineyards and cheeses made from sheep’s, goat’s and cow’s milk. Familiar regions such as Champagne, Normandy and Provence sit within a landscape organised around regional produce. Along the eastern border, humorous descriptions identify neighbouring lands with beer, milk and pasta.
The separate Bordeaux and Burgundy panels give particular attention to two of France’s celebrated wine-growing areas. Together with the convivial dining scene, they make the map an affectionate portrait of French culinary identity, presented through the decorative language of an antique map.
